TLDR: *Hi,
I have a problem with my json config file.

When I deploy ddns-updater container, I obtain this error message:

2023-02-24T07:54:54Z ERROR configuration given: cannot unmarshal common settings: invalid character '/' looking for beginning of value

I try too with a config to noip, I have the same issue.

Can you help me please ?

Thanks

Have a nice day.

Hi @fdorazio, I have exactly the same issue with AllInkl provider.
How did you solve the issue?
The config seems to be ok.

Hi @sebastian-muthwill,

I changed my configuration from config map to file in pvc.
And I added more informations below token variable:

  "ip_version": "ipv4",
  "provider_ip": true

I hope that it will help you.

Have a nice day.
